- If you are frustrated with feeling unsteady and fearful of falling...
If you want to take your balance to the next level...

Adding movement and moving in different directions are both incredibly important in taking your balance to the next level. This is called dynamic balance. When most people lose their balance, it typically is when they are moving- not when they are stationary.
You'll see a variety of balance exercises including tandem stance with movement, modified single leg stance, lateral movements and more. These are perfect to help seniors, those with osteoarthritis and joint pain, as well as those looking to improve or maintain their balance. Not only can these exercises help to prevent falls but they can provide support and relief to arthritic, painful joints too.

I'm so glad you liked the video!
Alyssa, you are a great teacher. You do understand that we feel limited and weak. That`s another awesome video!
I couldn't do all exercises today but, I am willing to accomplish them. I am doing it very little everyday, but this time, it`s for life!
Thank you
You can do it! You're so welcome!
Your videos are outstandingly helpful!
I especially like your cheery, optimistic and encouraging mood.
Arthritis’ restriction of movement after a lifetime of normal movement, depresses me and your presentation style lifts me up to keep trying improvements.
Also, it helps motivate me to watch an actual client who’s in a similar boat, do the exercise w you.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! ☀️
Thanks for this! I really need to work on my balance
Glad it was helpful!
We all need to work on balance. 😊
This was a great workout for balance! After doing a lot of walking on a trip I found that my right leg was really painful and I resorted to limping. After doing this workout one day it's already helped my walking pain/limping to lessen--thanks SO much!
Thank you so much. Best on the Internet in my opinion. I shall follow these exercises every day... So glad I found you.

Very good balance exercises. I added this to my playlist. Thanks a lot.
Glad you liked them and that's awesome you're going to add to your playlist. Glad you're going to revisit it.
I have been using your videos for MS caused instability. This is wonderful additional resource I use to add to brain plasticity exercises. I broke my knee a year ago and have been trying to get off cane.
Glad you like the videos as a resource! Thanks for sharing.
Great video
Great set of exercises. I need to do this often. Love your channel!
Glad you like the channel!
And another great set of exercises! My to keep doing list is really long - but thank you.
Choose 3-4 of your favorites to help prioritize!
This is a great video - i fractured my spine a couple of years ago and had surgery last year, which has had an impact on my balance when walking and also the strength in my right thigh due to nerve pain. I have tried your exercises, and my back and thigh hurt a little. Do you recommend any other exercises that i could perform to strengthen my thigh and my balance. I know i need to persevere to get stronger, so your input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for sharing this great video.😊
You're so welcome! Here's another video that talks about balance for stair climbing. czcams.com/video/HtuOUkvb1Ls/video.html
Very good drills however would liked to have heard more about the importance of proper visual attachments when doing drills. Incorporating the vestibular system
Excellent video! Very clear and concise instructions while also explaining the function of the exercise. Do you happen to have a PDF list of these exercises that I can use if I don't have my phone or computer handy? Thank you and keep up the terrific work.
The exercise list is in the video. You can take a screen shot for offline use!
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
You’re welcome!
Thank you for this video I really need to work on my balance I have had two strokes.
You're so welcome. Balance takes time to work up to. You got this.
Excellent 😊
Thanks for the visit
Twice i have made comments but can't see them, said think standing on one leg in corner is great idea,an safe going to try an make myself do some exercise each day, thankyou,M😊
Hmm, not sure why you wouldn't be able to see the comments but glad you are going to try these each day. You're welcome.
I need to do this everyday. I can't stand up on my tip toes because it causes horrible pain in my metatarsals. Is there any other way to do calf raises without standing on my tip toes?
Thank you for so much for these videos. I've been very active and keep fit fanatic most of my life until sports knee injury then several ankle sprains and tears ! then recently an ankle break !!! I'm a very young minded 61 year old and felt alone and depressed thinking I'm done with getting fit again and fearing future in old age on crutches or worse , now I see there is potential for keeping mobile as long as possible and seeing all these comments from all ages I don't feel as alone now with my limitations. Do you have progressive courses of work outs for strength training with these limitations we now have to cope with. I'd consider paying for a course. I'm going to try the bath technique as my job is very physical and heavy and I have been longing for a long hot soak after but have been too scared of injuring my ankle getting out. Also do you have any ankle strengthening exercises please ? Many many thanks 🙏

I’m working on my balance but still use a walker. Why do my upper arms and shoulders hurt when I walk holding the handles of the walker?
I'm going to do some work everyday 💪
Awesome! Get that balance up!
